Does Muay Thai kicking mechanics (kicking with the shin) negate long range kicking?

I mean logically, if you intend on kicking with the shin and swinging it like a bat, doesn't that require close range fighting?

Are there Muay Thai fighters who use the instep and kick long range?

I understand the criticism towards TaeKwondo that it's dependent on long range fighting, but isn't the reverse true of Muay Thai as it relates to kicking, that they need close range?
 
As a short stocky man, i totally agree with you ... It seems really easier if you have long limbs.
